I had an earlier deal in the works to swap Bumgarner/Matt Moore for Cano/Dempster but due to Bum's latest complete game and my fear of losing too much pitching I nixed the deal but I have since acquired Gallardo to bolster my rotation and am revisiting a deal to acquire Cano. My first question: Who do you like better? Bumgarner or Gio? Gio has been shaky at best for over a month and I feel that San Francisco will be the better team in the end so I'm leaning towards keeping Bum and dealing Gio (I can include either in this trade).

I'm looking at a deal that resembles:

My Gio, Matt Moore & Espinosa for Cano, Dempster and Niese (or Danks).

My team:

C Doumit
1 Fielder
2 Espinosa
S Andrus
3 Sandoval
O Cargo
O Bruce
O J Upton
DH Cruz
BN Belt
BN Plouffe
BN Ryan Howard

SP Bum
SP Gio
SP Gallardo
SP Zimmermann
SP A. Sanchez
SP Latos
SP Marcum
SP Matt Moore
SP Cashner
SP Wandy
RP Jansen
RP Chapman

After upgrading at 2b I think I can still work another deal once Ryan Howard returns to attempt to replace Gio with someone like CJ Wilson so in the end it may not hurt my pitching staff that much.

So in the end my questions are:

1) Who would you rather keep, Bum or Gio (I will trade the lesser of the 2)?
2) Which side would you rather have... The Bum (or Gio) side or the Cano side?

1. Gio 2. Cano
